OH FOR FUCKS SAKE I'm done.

[Selamis]

Yep, pretty much. The irony of talking about how Keith is the reigning Norris Trophy winner, then Seabrook's pass is picked off, and then they score on Keith on the odd man rush.

[Selamis]

LOL FUCKING PIERRE! "This penalty shot is keeping the ice girls off the ice. It's happening before a schedule commercial break."

[Selamis]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSA on the penalty shot!!!

[isladar]

Thank god for Hossa.

[Penthesilea]

Lol shitty call for a penalty shot. Was hoping to not hear that terrible song

[isladar]

WOW Bobrovski, fucking impressive

[Ishido]

Ovechtrick commercials are pretty awesome, despite the added irony this season.

Also Pronger is the biggest 2nd biggest shithead (Fuck Corey Perry) but he's hilarious to watch.

[Ishido]

The active stick has evolved into an active body. What.

[isladar]

oh god don't pull Crawford

[isladar]

More over than it was over earlier, the over-est.

[Thoronas]

Oh fucking LOL, Turco was in the shot when Pierre started yapping and he rolls his eyes at Pierre and shakes his head

Turco is awesome.

[isladar]

That clip totally made up for the game, thank you for posting!

[Callisto]

Rough sports day around these parts, lol. Still at least they won the Wings game, and Hossa scored on a penalty shot at home for the first time since 1987. At least the rest of the league should more or less be caught up in games played now, so it'll be a little easier to figure out the trainwreck that is the Western standings.

[Ishido]

1 more game before the All-Star break for the Wings, wednesday vs NJ. Devils are hot recently, it would be nice to get a win in what is hopefully the last game with tons of injuries. Cleary, Datsyuk, and Holmstrom are due back right after the break or somewhere around then.

In other news...

Snow reached out to the 35-year-old Nabokov shortly after the Islanders claimed him from the Detroit Red Wings - the team with which Nabokov signed a one-year contract on Thursday. Snow said when he identified himself on the phone, Nabokov immediately hung up.

LOL.

Spoiler: show

The news on Nabokov said he didn't realize who it was when he hung up, which makes it far less funny

Also the Maple Leaf guardian is a moving tree, who looks strangely like poop.

The Maple Leaf is the largest of all the Guardians. A fact made more obvious when he "grows" infinitely larger as the need arises. His body is composed entirely of wood; essentially he is a living breathing maple tree. Large roots that shoot from his feet enable him to secure himself to any surface by penetrating and forming a foothold. His branches can stretch from his forearms allowing him to snatch up the enemy or grasp innocent victims in harm’s way. He fires sticky "sap" bombs from his fingertips that trap his opponents like an insect in amber.

On top of all of this, the Maple Leaf has the super ability of chlorokinesis, basically allowing him to communicate with the plant world. The Maple Leaf, or “Trunk” as the rest of the Guardians know him, is one of the funniest of the Guardians. Always quick with a joke or a sarcastic barb, the Maple Leaf often disarms his opponents by bringing levity to tense situations. Don't let the funny man routine fool you though, because when angered this Guardian can be particularly brutal, and this is no laughing matter.

"Sap" in quotations is worrisome.

Also Nabby agrees with Osgood

"It's nothing against the Islanders and their organization. It's nothing to do with that. It's just that I'm at the point in my career where I want to help a team win in the playoffs. I don't see how I could help the Islanders or what I could do for them. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. And I hope they understand that."

"I was surprised they picked me up. I was like, 'Wow, what's the point?"

[Thoronas]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *gasp* HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Ishido]

The poorly photoshop-added NHL and Original 6 logos are nice touches.

Also Crosby and Malkin won't be at the all star game
